Four hundred and fiftieth chapters hypocritical Americans
Looking at Yang Zhen's rather dissatisfied look, Pearson shook his head and said: "Yang, some time ago, didn't we already sell you a batch of P-39 fighter jets? And as far as I know, the number is as high as 350
Eighteen, according to this number you already have a pretty good air defense capability.【.!"
"Yang, I think having these fighter jets has partially satisfied your requirements. Don't be too greedy, right? The United States of America is a country governed by laws. Even the president cannot violate laws and regulations. We are here
We have not been authorized to negotiate with you on any export of weapons and equipment, including weapons production lines, so we are sorry that we cannot meet your request."
"At least until we get authorization from the White House, we can't satisfy you. In this case, can we talk about something else first? As for this, we have to communicate with the White House before we can reply to you. But there is one thing I can explain first. If the White House agrees,
They can only agree to transfer technology and production lines, but American original products will not be provided.
"And the White House will never allow a situation like the last time to happen again, allowing American products to be changed hands for profit, especially in violation of U.S. laws. Yang, I hope you understand that it is allowed to treat you
The right to export planes is in the White House."
When Yang Zhen refused to let go, Major Pearson played a card he didn't want to play. He directly told Yang Zhen, what exactly did you and the Soviets do before? We are not ignorant.
I know, it’s just that we don’t want to pursue it.
His meaning is very clear. There is no room for you to buy aircraft production lines and aircraft production technology. But if you continue to be entangled like this and anger the White House, there will really be nothing left.
In fact, the Americans originally didn't care who the Soviets resold the aircraft to. But when Bell went to hand over the aircraft, they discovered that the person receiving the aircraft and paying their wages were actually Chinese.
Moreover, these Chinese were not the National Government they had supported before, nor their so-called comrades in China. They were actually Chinese who persisted in resisting in Northeast China, known as the lifeline of Japan, which aroused the Americans' concern.
Interest. It was also at this time that Yang Zhen and his troops came into the eyes of the Americans for the first time.
However, although the Americans thought that it would not be too simple for the Soviets to invest so much effort in supporting them, at that time the Americans only had some interest in Yang Zhen. In fact, they were more willing to believe that Yang Zhen's subordinates were Soviets.
It was specially used as a means to fight against the Japanese. Otherwise, why would the Soviets spend such a high price and even re-export American fighter jets to arm these people?
It wasn't until they saw the documentary about last year's autumn campaign in Chongqing that the Americans really took Yang Zhen's troops into their sights. The performance of Yang Zhen's troops on the battlefield made it difficult for Americans to believe that this army was from last year.
The Soviet army, which had performed in a complete mess during the winter operations, was trained first-hand.
Moreover, judging from the follow-up reports from the American instructors who went to the Soviet Union to assist in modifying fighter jets, the training methods of these people are very different from the traditional training model of the Soviet army. Except for the basic instructors, these people did not accept the tactics of the Soviet army.
Training, their tactics seem to have been figured out by themselves.
It was precisely with this information, coupled with the achievements of Yang Zhen's unit announced by the central government, some of their development experiences, and the Japanese germ warfare information handed over by the central government, that Yang Zhen was truly listed as a soldier by the Americans.
One of the potential allies in the war.
Yang Zhen, who didn't know that he first came into the sight of Americans because of the more than 300 fighter jets re-exported from the Soviet Union, looked at Major Pearson who looked non-negotiable, hesitated for a moment and finally nodded: "Okay, fighter production line
Let’s put aside the issue for a moment and let’s discuss the cash payment ratio first.”
"After all, money is the basis for solving everything, isn't it? Although money is not everything, but there is absolutely nothing you can do without money. For you Americans, money can solve all problems, right? For money, you would rather fight with
We are in the company of jackals. Watching countless Chinese people fall under the bombs of the Japanese army, they still sell the steel used to make bombs to Japan for money."
"As well as all kinds of fuel for the planes that dropped these bombs, and even exported the bombs directly. At least half of the Chinese who fell under the Japanese bombs and artillery shells were due to you. Haven't you ever thought that these are the things you sell?
Will a bomb made of steel fall on your heads one day in the not-too-distant future? Then you will know what it means to shoot yourself in the foot."
"For money, you can sell your conscience and join the company of jackals. But now you are here chattering with us for what you think is small money. What a hypocritical American, evil capitalism. You sold C-47 transport aircraft technology to the Japanese last year
, it only charges US$90,000, which is very generous.”
"How come we are here, and your potential allies are haggling endlessly for 200 million US dollars? Major Pearson, this gap is too big. If so, I would rather be your enemy. At least you will treat your future enemies.
Much more generous than us."
Yang Zhen's ironic words made every American present turn red. It was American steel, gasoline and advanced technology that supported the Japanese, whose production capacity was not strong, to continue this fight.
This is clear to several people here.
A country that has always advertised fairness, justice, and freedom is now supporting one country's aggression against another country in disguise for money. Even the thick-skinned people feel somewhat embarrassed. This cannot but be said to them. Open your mouth and shut up.
A great irony of the American spirit.
After a long time, Major Pearson said: "Yang, I hope we can get back to the topic and not talk about things we can't decide. Yang, although I really want to meet your needs, but unfortunately, we didn't do it before we came here."
Obtain authorization to provide transfer of military equipment and technology."
"I will report what you want to the White House, but whether it can succeed depends on the attitude of the White House. We are just small people and cannot formulate US foreign policy. I hope you can understand this. I think we should not discuss the United States.
It is better to return to the topic of foreign policy.”
Seeing that this guy didn't want to continue on this topic, Yang Zhen knocked on the table habitually and shrugged: "Major Pearson and everyone, I also want to continue talking. But you won't give in, why are we still talking like this?
I said 200 million U.S. dollars is the bottom line, but you insist on paying only 100 million U.S. dollars. The gap is too big. If we don't negotiate the amount of cash payment, how can we negotiate anything else?"
"Major Pearson, Mr. James, we are poor, but we have our principles. I don't know if you have carefully calculated it. On the list of supplies I provided, except for cars, they are all second-hand goods. Others
There is still a gap of at least one million U.S. dollars between the actual price and the remaining 300 million U.S. dollars. You must know that this million U.S. dollars is already a big sum for us."
"In order to show our sincerity, we have made such a big concession under such difficulties. What do you want us to do? What does millions of dollars mean to us who are still in extremely difficult times?
You should know. We have made such a big sacrifice, what do you want us to do? You know, according to the price of the equipment provided to us by Jiangbei, this money is enough for us to buy thousands of tons of high-quality gasoline."
Hearing Yang Zhen's words, the corner of James's mouth twitched. As a soldier, Major Pearson didn't know how much the things Yang Zhen wanted were worth. But as the executive director of a large company, James, who came from an economic background, was
He is very knowledgeable. Although pharmaceuticals and industry are two different things, he can still roughly guess the actual value of these things.
Yang Zhen's words almost made James vomit blood. Although he was restricted by the occasion and could not express his true feelings, in his heart, James still cursed: "You really stand and talk without pain. Two car production lines, plus a full set of
Is it possible to negotiate the production technology of engines and vehicles without tens of millions of dollars? Even second-hand equipment costs at least several million dollars."
"According to the chemical equipment, military production equipment, tens of thousands of tons of steel and cement on your list, the actual price of these is at least 200 million US dollars. There is also the steelmaking plant with an annual output of 500,000 tons.
Plant, a five-ton cement plant, even if it is second-hand, the complete set will cost at least 20 million US dollars. This does not include shipping and disassembly fees. Do you think American workers are cheap? Are they as worthless as you Chinese?"
"With the price difference, we still have a few million US dollars left. In addition to the oil extraction equipment you want, even if they are all second-hand goods, it will be good to get 300 million US dollars. You are sleepwalking. Let's use our American industry
Are all the products regarded as rubbish or worthless cabbage?”
James, who was so angry that he turned blue, wanted to get angry on the spot, but after looking at Pearson who was not very good-looking next to him, he gritted his teeth and said: "In this case, let's take another step back and get 130 million in cash."
, we also need money to purchase the materials you requested. We also need to pay cash for shipping and disassembly fees."
"If all the cash is paid to you, several of our companies may go bankrupt. You wouldn't want to see our company buy your production technology, but then go back and be unable to produce because of a broken capital chain. One hundred and three hundred million
Ten million US dollars is the largest share we can contribute now."
Regarding this guy's bargaining, Yang Zhen shook his head without thinking and said: "No, 200 million U.S. dollars is not negotiable. I am a principled person, let alone a casual person. If I say 200 million U.S. dollars, it is 200 million.
U.S. dollars, can you give me a nice word and stop whining like an old woman?"
After hearing this guy's words, James and Major Pearson looked at each other and felt the urge to vomit blood. Looking at Yang Zhen who was determined and uncompromising, James said cruelly: "One hundred and fifty million US dollars, we can't
If the price goes up any more, our capital chain will really be cut off.”
